L'Oreal Consumer Panel = FREE Cosmetics + More

Have you applied to be part of theL’Oreal Consumer Panel yet? Well, if not, this is another great survey company that you can sign up for. If you qualify, you will receive around 2 surveys per month that are usually focused on skin care or cosmetics. When you complete a certain number of the informational surveys they mail you a full size bottle of a high end skincare and/or makeup products.

And if you’re a little skeptical, check out the picture and email I received from reader, Nancy:

A while back there was a post to participate in L’Oreal’s consumer testing website. I joined and have been diligently filing out every single survey for a long time. I never get chosen. I was about to give up and deactivate my account when I received the attached in the mail today. Its a Thank you gift for continued participation. Kiehl’s from what I know is not a cheap brand. If you post about them again, tell other readers not to give up 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us, Nancy! And if you are currently a L’Oreal Consumer Panel member, I’d love to hear your feedback on this program.

I’ve been a member for a couple of years now – I never got a welcome gift and get very few surveys, maybe 4 or 5 altogether? Very recently I qualified for a product test – I really loved one of the products but wasn’t told what it was and sadly, it had to be returned. I did get a beautiful Lancome Eyeshadow kit for my gift though.

I’ve been a member of this for a while also. I just recently (a month ago) tested two lipsticks for them. As a thank-you, I got a full-size Lancome mascara in the mail! And about last fall I qualified for another product test, but they decided to not do the test at the last minute, but still sent out what would have been my compensation. I can’t remember what all I got, but it was at least $200 worth of high-end skincare if I remember correctly. I’m very happy to be a part of this study group.

have been a member for a couple of years. Have received several thank you gifts for filing out informational surveys. Have participated in two studies- one was a detailed one and received a thank you gift afterwards that would amount to several hundred in lancome products. just did another smaller test and received one product (kiehls eye balm). I check the site often because surveys pop up without notice. Everything you fill out is counted towards your gifts. love it and they are super generous!!!!

I am glad to hear others have had positive experiences with this program, but it’s been kind of a joke for me. I have been a member for a year and a half, filled out over 50 surveys, never qualified for ANY of them and I always fill out the survey requests as soon as I receive them. I even contacted someone at Loreal and explained my situation, and I received a response that “they are adding new testing all the time” and that “I should not be discouraged”. BTW, I am 38 years old, no allergies, not pregnant, wear makeup daily and have long blonde hair and I don’t qualify for any product testing? Things that make you say “hmmmm” 🙂

I signed up in October like everyone else. I have been filling out surveys for Loreal testing and had not yet qualified for testing. However, I just recieved a FULL size Lancome hand cream worth 45 bucks as a gift for regularly filing out surveys. This really paid off. Now today, I qualified for a moistureizer study. Woo Hoo! Thanks Colin for posting this.

Have you ever had moments when you're either out of time or out of printer ink, or both, and you really want to keep track of a "Hip" deal or print a valuable coupon in the next day or two? Or what do you do when an outstanding, but pricey, deal is posted and you want to save it for discussion with your significant other? Well, now you're in luck! No more searching through pages of posts to find the coupon or the deal. Simply move the post to your Hip List and access it at your convenience.

How Does the Hip List Work?

It's easy! To use this feature, first head on over here and register and log into your Hip2Save.com account. Whenever you find a great deal that you want to come back to later at a later time, just click on the HIP List icon located on each post (see images below) and the information will be saved in your account. To remove a post from your HIP List, just click on the HIP List icon and it will be removed.

When logged into your account, you will see the HIP List icon at the bottom of every post if you are viewing Hip2Save.com in classic view.

If you prefer to view Hip2Save.com in river view, you will see the HIP List icon located on every post above the post title and to the right.

If you're wanting to print a certain deal, blog post, or the Weekly Store Matchups from your HIP list, click on the small blue printer icon in the upper right corner of the HIP list. This will allow you to customize the information that you want or don't want to include when printing from your HIP list so you're only printing the information that's most important to you! If there are deals (or portions of deals) that you are not interested in printing, just click on the red x button to remove them. To restore a section, click on the green arrow icon in the upper right hand corner.
